Cover Your Assets ENG

The stakes are high in this energetic, competitive and cut-throat card game from Grandpa Beck’s Games, in which you collect lots of sets.

In Cover Your Assets, the players compete to become the first millionaire by building towers of matching sets made from 10 different types of asset cards (things such as jewels, piggy banks, classic cars and more). Each new set created is stacked crosswise on top of the previous set, covering and protecting all the sets beneath it.

The top set of assets in your pile is vulnerable and can be stolen by other players if they show you a matching asset card or wild card (the silver and gold cards) from their hand. You can defend your stack by showing the challenger a matching card from your own hand. If you do, they can strike back with another matching card. The battle rages back and forth until one player cannot respond or gives up.

If you win, you keep the set; if the challenger wins, they take the set. Whoever wins, ALL the cards used in the challenge are added to the set, increasing its value and its appeal to other players.

To prevent the set from being stolen by another player, the best thing you can do is cover your assets by creating a new pair from your hand or by stealing a set from the top of another player’s stack during your next turn.

At the end of the round the scores are added up, the cards are shuffled and a new round begins. The first player to reach $1,000,000 wins.

Cover Your Assets is quick to learn and simple to play, yet surprisingly addictive and strategic. The game can be played with 4-6 players and works very well for mixed groups, as children, teenagers, parents and grandparents can learn the game in a few minutes and enjoy it for hours.

This is not a game for sore losers.
